Re: [tor-talk] To Toggle, or not to Toggle: The End of Torbutton

So can anyone bring up any specific issues that may be caused by the
change?

We are collecting these issues as child tickets of this bug:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2880

As an aside, we also are collecting a similar set of issues for the
removal of an HTTP proxy entirely from the tor distribution:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2844

My normal use case is to run Tor on a computer different from the computer which is running the browser. I then use ssh to either tunnel the HTTP proxy connection to an instance of Privoxy running on the same computer that is running Tor or I tunnel the output from Privoxy on the computer running the browser to port 9050 on the computer running Tor. (I use both methods depending on which computer I am browsing from.) I have not yet figured out how your proposal effects these use cases.

Should I decide to add entries to the tracker, does one have to register to do so?

Jim
